    The last paragraph tells it All. The riding position did not work for me on my RT but highway pegs helped. Look into what is available before you buy. Good Luck.

    I for one wanted a larger displacement for torque not HP. Not looking at doing 100 mph. The Spyder is not built for that!! Multiple cylinders also means smoother.
